Brooklyn born, Brooklyn bred I'm retired from everything (33 years as regional director of the American Jewish Committee, 8 years with the Palm Beach County,Fl, Sheriff's Office) except writing. I've been writing professionally as an opinion commentator for over 40 years. One doesn't retire from writing; one is buried with one's writing tools. Analytic opinions in essay form often with Brooklyn wit and wisdom thrown in is what you'll get from me. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!
